Learn about the indicators, gauges, and displays related to driving the \
vehicle.
Indicators briefly appear with each engine start and then go out. Red \
and amber
indicators are most critical. Blue and green indicators are used for gen\
eral
information.
Malfunction Indicators
These are the most critical indicators. If they come on and stay lit whi\
le driving or at
any other time, there may be a problem. See your dealer if necessary.
Brake system
• Brake fluid is low.
• The brake system has a problem.
Press the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure. If normal, check \
the brake fluid level when you stop. If abnormal, take immediate actio\
n. If
necessary, downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle using engine
braking. Have your vehicle repaired immediately.
Low oil pressure
Engine oil pressure is low. Stop in a safe place. Open the hood. Check the oil
level, and add oil if necessary (see page 117). If the indicator does \
not turn
off, have your vehicle repaired immediately.
Charging system
The battery is not charging. Turn off all electrical items, but do not turn off
the vehicle to prevent further battery discharge. Have your vehicle repa\
ired
immediately.

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving. Available on U.S. models only.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly
low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire
pressure and adjust the pressure to the specified
level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on the
driver’s doorjamb.
TPMS Calibration
Any time you inflate, change, or rotate one of more
of the tires, you need to recalibrate the system.
Press and hold the TPMS button. The TPMS
indicator blinks, and calibration begins.
The calibration process requires approximately 30
minutes of cumulative driving at speeds between
30–60 mph (48–97 km/h). The process finishes
automatically.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. A\
n overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
NOTICE

Low tire
pressure
indicator
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)—Required Federal Explanation
U.S. models only
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthl\
y
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the \
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure\

label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated \
on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine\
the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped
with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the\

proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenanc\
e,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even
if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This \
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the \
malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be abl\
e
to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle \
that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

Replacing the Flat Tire
1.
Remove the wheel nuts and flat tire.
2.
Mount the compact spare tire. Replace the
wheel nuts, and lightly tighten them.
3.
Lower the vehicle and remove the jack. Tighten
the wheel nuts in the order indicated in the
image. Go around, tightening the nuts, two to
three times in this order. Do not overtighten the
wheel nuts.
Models with wheel covers:

Make sure the wire
support ring is hooked into the clips around the
edge of the wheel cover.
Align the valve mark on the wheel cover to the
tire valve on the wheel, then install the wheel
cover.
If you drive with the spare tire installed, the low tire pressure/TPMS i\
ndicator*
appears. The indicator stays on until a regular tire is installed.

Storing the Flat Tire1.
Remove the center cap, if necessary.
2.
Place the flat tire face down in the spare tire
well.
3.
Remove the spacer cone from the wing bolt, flip
it over, and insert it back on the bolt. Secure the
flat tire with the wing bolt.
Models with wheel covers: Make sure the wire
support ring is on the outer side of the tire valve
as shown.
4.
Securely store the wheel nut wrench, jack handle bar, and jack back in the tool
case. Store the case in the cargo area under the cargo floor lid.
Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and can seriously i\
njure the
occupants.
Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely before driving.
